Changes

• No longer testing Win32 project scripts. Note generate_projects_vc14win32.bat has been renamed generate_projects_vc14win32_untested.bat.
• Using a PhysX Packman package that no longer includes APEX.
• Updated documentation:
  • Authoring documentation mentions restrictions for meshes to be fractured.
  • Added BlastTool reference to README.md.
  • Updated documentation paths in README.md.
• Using Packman5 for external packages.
• Authoring tools:
  • In NoiseConfiguration, surfaceResolution changed to samplingInterval. The latter is reciprocal of resolution and defined for all 3 axes.
  • Improved cutout robustness.
• Exporter (used by both authoring tools and ApexImporter) has a JSON collision export option.

New Features

• VC15 Win64 project scripts. Run generate_projects_vc15win64.bat.
• Authoring tools:
  • Noisy cutout fracture.
  • Conic cutout option (tapers cut planes relative to central point).
  • Cutout option "useSmoothing." Add generatad faces to the same smoothing group as original face without noise.
  • Periodic cutout boundary conditions.

Bug fixes

• Packman target platform dependencies no longer pulling windows packages into other platforms.
• Fixed bond generation for cutout fracture.

Known Issues

• Damage shaders in extensions can miss bonds if the damage volume is too small.
• Authoring code does not use the user-defined allocator (NvBlastGlobals) exclusively.
